Abstract

A connector (1) of the invention includes a main body (4); a terminal (7a, 7b), arranged at the main body, to be electrically connected with a connection object (30) having at least one uneven part (33, 34); and an auxiliary member (5) mounted on the main body and having at least one fitting part (15) to fit to the respective uneven part of the connection object. According to the invention, when the uneven part varies in location and/or configuration in accordance with the types of the connection objects used, only the connection object having the uneven part corresponding in location and/or configuration to the fitting part formed in the auxiliary member can be loaded onto the connector to prevent erroneous loading of the connection object.
